Licensed General Contractor CGC1537881
A kitchen remodel in Naples is rarely just cabinets and counters. The kitchens we're asked to build usually involve opening the space — removing walls between kitchen, dining, and living areas — which means structural engineering, Collier County permits, and load-bearing solutions hidden cleanly in the ceiling. As a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1537881), we handle all of it under one roof, including the cabinetry itself: our custom cabinets are designed in-house and built for Florida's humidity.
Our recent kitchen work spans Pelican Bay, Fiddlers Creek, Bears Paw, and Marco Island — from high-rise condo kitchen renovations with association rules to open-concept transformations in gated communities. Explore the finished projects in our portfolio, then tell us about yours.
In a recent Fiddlers Creek kitchen, the owners wanted the wall between the kitchen and living room gone, and two other contractors had told them it would leave a large beam hanging down. We found a way to hide the beam in the ceiling, then built new custom cabinets, a quartz island and a gas range, and handled the Collier County permit from start to finish. That is the kind of kitchen work we do most: open the space, solve the structure, and build the cabinetry ourselves.
“We wanted to open the wall between our kitchen and living room, and two other contractors told us we'd end up with a big beam hanging down. Andreas found a way to hide it in the ceiling. New custom cabinets, quartz island, gas range — it looks like that wall was never there.”

“His two main guys working with him were polite, on task, and the cleanest crew I've worked with. From a wall going down to give us more open feeling, to flooring picks and solid wood cabinets for baths and kitchen. Andreas is always on the job.”

A cosmetic refresh can run several weeks; a full open-concept remodel with structural changes and custom cabinetry typically runs a few months from demolition to final walkthrough. The biggest schedule factors are permit review time in Collier County, cabinet fabrication, and whether walls are moving. We give you a realistic schedule in writing before work starts.
Almost always, yes. Moving plumbing, electrical, or any wall — and most condo work — requires permits. As a Certified General Contractor we prepare and pull the permits, coordinate inspections, and handle engineering documents for structural changes, so the process is ours to manage, not yours.
In most Naples homes, yes — including load-bearing walls. We assess the structure, have beam solutions engineered, and open the space safely. Concealed beams are our standard approach, so the finished ceiling looks like the wall was never there.
In everyday use the two words mean the same thing, and most homeowners use them interchangeably. The technical difference: a renovation updates what is already there — new cabinets, counters, and finishes inside the existing layout — while a remodel changes the layout itself, moving walls, plumbing, or electrical. Most Naples kitchens we are asked to do are genuinely remodels, because opening the kitchen to the living space is the most common request here. Either way the permits, the schedule, and the one-year workmanship warranty work the same, and we will tell you honestly which one your kitchen actually needs.
We design and build custom cabinetry in-house — it is one of the things that sets us apart from contractors who resell factory boxes. Full custom lets us use every inch of the space and match any style. Where the existing boxes are sound and the goal is a lighter refresh, we will tell you honestly whether refacing makes more sense.
Yes — a large share of our work is in communities like Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, and Fiddlers Creek, and in condo buildings with association requirements. We handle HOA and condo-board paperwork, insurance certificates, elevator and access logistics, and building work-hour rules as part of the job.
This is one of the smartest ways to remodel in Naples — the May-to-October window means you skip living through construction entirely and come back in season to a finished kitchen. Every client gets their own login to our client portal (crm.gcprowest.com) to follow the project schedule and progress from anywhere, and we coordinate access with your home-watch service. Planning starts in spring; you leave; we build; you return to done.
Yes - every project carries our one-year workmanship warranty. If something we built or installed fails within the first year because of our workmanship, we come back and make it right at no cost. Manufacturer warranties on cabinets, fixtures, and appliances apply on top of ours, and we handle those claims for you while the project is under our warranty.
Start with the license: a full kitchen remodel that moves walls, plumbing or electrical needs a licensed contractor, and the Florida license lookup takes two minutes. Then ask for a written scope, signed change orders, a payment schedule tied to finished work, and finished kitchens or reviews you can check. Ask who builds the cabinets; we build ours in-house, which is how we control the schedule and the fit. Our guides on verifying a Florida contractor license and on what belongs in a remodeling contract walk through each step.
Yes: keep the layout. Most of the cost in a kitchen remodel comes from moving walls, plumbing and gas, and from new cabinet boxes. A cosmetic refresh that keeps everything where it is, with new counters, backsplash, refaced or painted cabinets, fixtures and lighting, falls in the lower published range above. If your cabinet boxes are sound, refacing them can make sense; if they are water-damaged, it does not. We will tell you honestly which applies to your kitchen at the free consultation.
Yes, and condo kitchens are a large part of our work. A condo kitchen adds the association's process to the job: the approval package, insurance certificates naming the building, approved work hours, elevator reservations, and debris removal on the building's schedule. In high-rise condos the sink usually stays near the existing plumbing stack, because drains cannot simply be cut into a post-tension slab. We prepare the board package and plan the layout around those limits.
Yes. The changes that help most are deep drawers instead of base cabinets you have to kneel into, pull-out shelves and pantry units, more clear floor space where the layout allows, lever-style handles and faucets, and better task lighting. Many of these fit into a standard remodel without adding much. We plan them with you at the consultation based on how you actually use the kitchen.
It depends on how you cook and how much care you want to give the surface. Quartz is the low-maintenance choice, granite and quartzite are natural stone with more variation and some sealing. Whatever you pick, the cabinets underneath have to be level, square and solid to carry the slab. Our countertop guide compares the three for Naples kitchens.
